Full Job Description
The Role

The General Ledger Accounting Manager plays a central role on Globality's accounting team, owning the general ledger functions that keep the business running accurately as it scales - month-end close, account reconciliations, and technical accounting projects. You'll have real ownership over how these processes work, with the latitude to identify and drive improvements rather than just execute a fixed playbook.

This role suits someone who wants more than a narrow, siloed accounting job: you'll partner directly with the VP Controller and colleagues across finance and other functions globally, work on technical areas like revenue recognition and lease accounting, and help shape the systems and processes Globality's finance function runs on as the company grows. Strong GAAP knowledge and a SOX-compliant mindset are essential, and prior experience at a growing SaaS company will help you move quickly here.

What You Will Do
  • Own month-end close. Manage the close process end to end, preparing monthly reconciliations, reporting, and related deliverables on schedule.
  • Analyze financial results. Prepare monthly flux analysis of balance sheet and income statement accounts, identifying and explaining variances.
  • Maintain compliance filings. Oversee annual state and local registrations to keep Globality in good standing across jurisdictions.
  • Support audit and tax. Assist with year end audits and annual tax return preparation, serving as a key point of contact for auditors and tax advisors.
  • Contribute to technical accounting. Assist with revenue recognition, lease accounting, and other technical accounting projects as they arise.
  • Improve how the team works. Identify, recommend, and lead process improvements and financial system enhancements, and take on special projects as needed.
  • Develop the team. Collaborate and cross-train with other members of the accounting team to build bench strength and consistency.

What You Bring
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and FASB financial reporting principles
  • Experience with NetSuite or an equivalent ERP system
  • Strong Excel skills
  • A SOX-compliant mindset and solid analytical/problem-solving skills
  • Strong attention to detail and pride in the quality of your workpapers
  • Effective communicator, both written and oral, with the ability to lead and influence across teams
  • Proven ability to prioritize and manage workload in a fast-paced environment
  • BS in Finance, Accounting, or related field
  • Genuine interest in using AI tools to work more efficiently - comfortable experimenting with new tools and finding ways to apply them to close, reconciliations, and reporting

Nice to have:
  • CPA license
  • Experience at a growing SaaS or technology company
  • Familiarity with Airbase (Paylocity for Finance) and Carta

The opportunity is enormous. Enterprise procurement is one of the last major business functions to be transformed by AI. We're not optimizing at the margins - we're fundamentally rethinking how trillions of dollars get spent.

The team is world-class. Our leadership team brings decades of experience from leading global enterprises, and our culture is built for people who want real ownership, not titles.

You'll have real impact. This isn't a role where you execute someone else's playbook. You'll shape the strategy, build the programs, and see the direct business impact of your work.

We work together - literally. We're in-office four days a week in Palo Alto because the best ideas -- and the fastest decisions -- happen face to face. One day a week is yours to work wherever you're most effective.

The anticipated annual base salary range for this position is $100,000 - $200,000. Actual compensation may vary based on factors such as experience, skills, and location. This information is provided in accordance with the California Equal Pay Act.
